Players who wish to play this game often choose to start out by playing the free version. This version is essentially a trial version, and players who play the free version are not eligible to win the prize money associated with the game. Once the player has graduated to the real money version, he/she will be able to make deposits into the slot machine game in the form of coins. These coins are available for purchase using the player’s online casino account, and their value ranges from $0.01 to $0.50. The maximum number of coins that can be wagered in a single spin is 150 coins, which amounts to 10 coins per activated payline. The jackpot in the game is worth 1000 coins, which at maximum coin value is worth $500. The second highest payout associated with Big Break is worth 800 coins or $400 when the player wagers $0.50 coins. Players with faster internet connections often choose to play this game without download, using the flash version that is available at most Microgaming casinos.
Along with ten regular symbols, this game also has a scatter symbol and two wild symbols. The scatter symbol is the Munky Wax symbol and unlike the other symbols, it can appear anywhere on the reels to entitle the player to a payout. This payout is rewarded when the scatter symbol appears two or more times in a single spin and is worth 2x, 3x, 20x or 100x the initial triggering wager. When there are three or more scatter symbols, the player wins 15 free spins.
The first wild symbol is the Big Break symbol. This symbol, when it appears on any activated payline can substitute for the Lemur, Gorilla, Macaque, Gibbon and the Orangutan symbol to complete a winning combination, and it does not act as a multiplier symbol. The second wild symbol is the Lucky Break symbol, which only appears on the fifth reel. This symbol can substitute for all of the regular symbols to complete a winning combination, and it automatically doubles the original payout for that combination.
This game also has a Surf’s Up bonus game, during which the player can win up to 7500 coins. This feature is activated when the Lemur, Gorilla, Gibbon, Orangutan or Macaque symbols appear scattered on all the reels without the assistance of a wild symbol. During this round, there are five Surfboard symbols displayed on the screen, and the player chooses one of the five to collect a random prize. {jathumbnail off}
